A long-running neighbor feud in small Waterloo, South Carolina, ended in murder on April 8, 2014. Fifty-one-year-old Harold D. Price was found dead next to his lawnmower on Cochise Drive after being shot three times in the back. Neighbors and family described the relationship between Price and his neighbor Johnny Lamar Lever as a Hatfield-McCoy–type feud, aggravated by allegations Price had been flirting with Lever’s sister and by repeated arguments and altercations that had been reported to police.

On the day of the killing the men argued while Price was mowing. Lever later said Price threatened to kill him and appeared to be going to retrieve a gun, whereupon Lever armed himself and shot Price three times in the back. Lever was arrested and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. His first trial ended in a mistrial; a second trial resulted in convictions on both counts and a life-without-parole sentence. Did anyone in the neighborhood witness tensions before April 8 who hasn’t spoken up yet?
